Fitting a Helmet
Here are some guidelines to getting the best fit for a bike helmet.
- Eyes: The rim of the helmet should be up to 1 to 2 finger widths above the eyebrows
- Ears: The straps should form a V under just beneath the ear lobe
- Mouth: When the rider opens her mouth, the buckle should feel snug on the chin and the helmet should hug the head
About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.
Sports reviews of Giro Me2 Infant Bike Helmet
Customer Review: very pleased
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Our little girl is petite and extremely active. It was tough to find a bike helmet that would adjust properly. This one is terrific. Customer Review: perfect for my biker chick!

This helmet is very safe and sturdy. I have been using it on my 8 month old. The only issue that I have with it (and likely other helmets), is that the strap is hard to get underneath a chubby chinned baby. Especially one like mine that doesn't like anything under her chin. But, we got it on, and went for a ride. What fun!Customer Review: this infant helmet is tops!

We were having a hard time finding a bicycle helmet small enough for our 20 month old son in the stores. I found this helmet online and read some good reviews so we ordered it. This helmet is perfect. It was very easy to get adjusted the first time and is easy to adjust every time we use it, if needed. The best part is my son doesn't mind wearing it at all. He hates hats, but will ask to wear this "hat" and doesn't seem to notice it once it is on his head. Very pleased with this helmet.Customer Review: Love it so far

I previously purchased another helmet for my 15-month-old son from Meijer on sale, but reconsidered after doing some research on safety. I spent a little more on this helmet, but I know that it was worth it. I know that it will keep my little guy safe and he LOVES it. Fortunately, we are working towards making him a child who will keep a hat on and he thinks it's funny to wear his helmet, even when he is not on the bike. I like the fact that there are several ways to adjust the fit on this helmet-not just the chin straps, but also the clicker thing on the back of the helmet. I feel much more confident this way, that it is sitting accurately on his head. It seems comfortable as he doesn't fight to get it off and the design is adorable, but not too "babyish" so if need be, it can grow with him a little. Overall, a good price for a great helmet!
